Raidsonline

So, we get a lot of calls from civilians about the different crimes and the percentage of crimes that occur in their neighborhoods or their future neighborhoods.  They like to call when they are contemplating moving.  We always try to help them; however, this is public information and everyone can look up crime statistics for their neighborhood.  A particularly good site is raidsonline.com.   My supervisor and I spent an afternoon reviewing this site. Most people get scared when they see the percentage of violent crimes especially the violent sex crimes in their neighborhood.  However, sex crimes are usually not random; the victim usually knows the offender and it usually has nothing to do with the neighborhood. In my opinion when deciding on where to move you should be more concerned over property crime percentages as these are most determined by location and violent crimes are usually determined by the person.
